Working with source setups and output setups from a color expert
If a color expert creates custom source setups and output setups specific to your workflow
— or even specific to individual jobs or clients — you can easily employ those setups
through preferences, view options, output settings, and Job Jackets. For example, a service
bureau or printer may provide setups for you that help ensure appropriate output for their
equipment.
Appending source setups
If source setups are created for a project you work on, you can append those source setups
to other projects. Use the Append button in the Source Setups dialog box (Edit > Color
Setups > Source) to navigate to and select a source setup.
Importing output setups
If output setups are created for you, import them through the Output Setups dialog box
(Edit > Color Setups > Output). Use the Import button to navigate to and select the
output setup files.
Selecting source setups and output setups
To use custom source setups and output setups, you choose them from various color
management menus as follows:
• Color sources: To use a custom source setup, choose it from the Source Setup drop-down
menu in the Color Manager pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu)
for the layout.
• Color display: To use a custom output setup for proofing, choose it from the Proof Output
submenu of the View menu.
• Color output: To use a custom output setup for printing or other types of output, choose
it from the Setup drop-down menu in the Colors pane of the Print dialog box (File >
Print).
Working with source and output setups in Job Jackets
When you create a project from a Job Jackets file, the appropriate source setups and output
setups are included and selected for you. You can still import, append, and create additional
setups, and select those setups for display and output.
Working in a legacy color management environment
You can open projects from QuarkXPress 3.3, 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x, and be confident that color
will display and output as it always has.
You can continue to work in a legacy color management environment from QuarkXPress
versions 3.3, 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x. If you choose to work in a legacy color management
environment, you can still take advantage of the soft proofing features in QuarkXPress.
